We discuss a canonical formalism method for constructing actions describing propagation of W-strings on curved backgrounds. The method is based on the construction of a representation of the W-algebra in terms of currents made from the…
We show that all W-gravity actions can be easilly constructed and understood from the point of view of the Hamiltonian formalism for the constrained systems. This formalism also gives a method of constructing gauge invariant actions for…
In this paper we study holomorphic actions of the complex multiplicative group on complex manifolds around a singular (fixed) point. We prove linearization results for the germ of action and also for the whole action under some conditions…
We construct non-relativistic string and p-brane actions in Newton-Cartan background using the limiting procedure from the relativistic string and p-brane action in general background. We also find their Hamiltonian formulations when…
The group theoretic method is extended to include fields with a background charge. This formalism is used to compute the tree level scattering for $W_3$ strings. The scattering amplitudes involve Ising model correlation functions. A…
We present a detailed investigation of scattering processes in $W_3$ string theory. We discover further physical states with continuous momentum, which involve excitations of the ghosts as well as the matter, and use them to gain a better…
By enforcing locality we relate the cohomology found in parafermionic theories to that occurring in $W$ strings. This link provides a systematic method of finding states in the cohomology of $W_{2,s}$ strings.
The B-model topological string theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold X has a symmetry group Gamma, generated by monodromies of the periods of X. This acts on the topological string wave function in a natural way, governed by the quantum…
We show that a canonical procedure of extending generalized Dynkin diagrams gives rise to families of Kac-Moody groups that satisfy homological stability. We also briefly sketch some emergent structure that appears on stabilization. Our…
We discuss new realisations of $W$ algebras in which the currents are expressed in terms of two arbitrary commuting energy-momentum tensors together with a set of free scalar fields. This contrasts with the previously-known realisations,…
In this note, we adapt the procedure of the Long-Moody procedure to construct linear representations of welded braid groups. We exhibit the natural setting in this context and compute the first examples of representations we obtain thanks…
The conventional quantization of w_3 strings gives theories which are equivalent to special cases of bosonic strings. We explore whether a more general quantization can lead to new generalized W_3 string theories by seeking to construct…
This thesis is almost entirely devoted to studying string theory backgrounds characterized by simple geometrical and integrability properties. The archetype of this type of system is given by Wess-Zumino-Witten models, describing string…
We use the remodeling approach to the B-model topological string in terms of recursion relations to study open string amplitudes at orbifold points. To this end, we clarify modular properties of the open amplitudes and rewrite them in a…
By the method of discrete transformation equations of 3-th wave hierarchy are constructed. We present in explicit form two Poisson structures, which allow to construct Hamiltonian operator consequent application of which leads to all…
Simplicial homology manifolds are proposed as an interesting class of geometric objects, more general than topological manifolds but still quite tractable, in which questions about the microstructure of space-time can be naturally…
We describe the general framework for constructing collective--theory Hamiltonians whose hermicity requirements imply a Kac--Moody algebra of constraints on the associated Jacobian. We give explicit examples for the algebras $sl(2)_k$ and…
We describe quantizations on monoidal categories of modules over finite groups. They are given by quantizers which are elements of a group algebra. Over the complex numbers we find these explicitly. For modules over S3 and A4 we are given…
This is an expanded version of the lectures given by the author on the 3rd school "Lie algebras, algebraic groups and invariant theory" in Togliatti, Russia. In these notes we explain the concept of a categorical Kac-Moody action by…
This note establishes that homotopy groups of topological split real Kac-Moody groups are countable and, hence, concludes the existence of Whitehead towers consisting of topological groups for these groups and their maximal compact…
